I wasn't planning to upgrade, but the Pixel 9 Pro XL changed my mind
Briefly

The article discusses the Google Pixel 9 Pro series, emphasizing its premium features, design, and competitive pricing that aligns with other flagship smartphones. The starting price is set at $1,099, featuring a larger 6.8-inch display, unique Google AI capabilities, and sophisticated camera systems. Despite some reservations about base storage and AI reliability, the phone's improvements like a brighter display and innovative design secure its value in a competitive market. Discounts are noted on Amazon, making the Pixel more accessible without compromising on quality.
Fortunately, you have plenty to gain by paying Google more. From my month of testing the Pro XL model... I've greatly benefitted from upgrades such as the brighter (up to 3,000 nits) display, AI features like Call Notes and Pixel Screenshots, and faster 45W charging.
The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL exude premium, and Google knows it. Holding them for the first time reminded me of when I held the iPhone 12 Pro, with the shift from previous year's design making all the difference.
